Differential abundance (ANCOMBC2)
Differential abundance analysis using ANCOMBC was carried out on unrarefied data due to the recommendations by the package authors and discussions online. For significant taxa associated with different site-treatment groups, the data was also non-aggregated to ensure there were enough samples for ANCOM analysis.
Bacteria
Genera
Treatment
No genera were identified as differentially abundant when comparing control and water stress samples
## [1] "Control" "Drought"Comparing control and shelter samples on each site
No differentially abundant taxa were identified between control and water stress samples on any of the sites
Comparing control samples between sites
Comparing shelter samples between sites
Family - control vs rain shelter on each site
No differentially abundant families were identified between control and water stress samples on any site
Phylum
Treatment
No phyla were identified as differentially abundant when comparing control and water stress samples
Comparing control and shelter samples on each site
No differentially abundant phyla were identified as responding to changes in soil moisture on any site
